Hi,
I just got my Phone yesterday. I am still playing with it but found some things which won't suit me. They are,
1- How do I disable Conversation type SMS Inbox? I have gone through Settings, but no option is there. Is there a Code or something which will Disable Conversation style SMS Inbox and Enable normal Inbox-Outbox-Sent-Draft pattern SMS Inbox.
2- How will I change the Lock Screen Wallpaper? I can't change it, if I click on, Settings-Display-Screen display-Lock screen Wallpaper only Camera and Gallery options are opening but Select Wallpaper from Wallpaper Gallery is not opening which has the built in pictures and I want to use them as my Lock screen pic.
3- Is this Power Saving Mode stuff really does anything on the battery to save it? Are you guys using it?
4- At what Brightness are you guys using the Phone generally? I am using on Auto Brightness but it takes a while to activate.
5- Please tell me One good free application related to Battery Status? I mean I've seen an app which shows the detailed Battery percentage on the Task bar instead of the Default battery icon?
6- Is there some Secret Codes for this? When I had my Wave S8500 I used to use some Codes, eg- *#8740#, *#5239870*# and etc.. I'd specially like to know a Code related to screen contrast. I mean imo the Contrast is really heavy and rich, which I don't like, on Wave there was a Code (I forgot) which gave an option to Enable and Disable some features like DNIE Technology and etc, so is there same type of Codes available for GS II too?
This is my very First Android device, and especially when coming from Bada it seems like I am in the middle of Pacific ocean and can't see anything. So if I've asked any stupid question please do pardon me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saurav.
1) i like the conversation style so didn't bother to change or look for the settings
2) u can change it if u root ur phone and u know the codes to change it or just use a custom rom found in the forum. some of them have a way to change the lockscreen
3)if you set the settings properly it works..but not that well
4)i have disabled my auto brightness and put the slider on the lowest..saves battery.. (keep in mind that in sunlight brightness needs to be increased)
5)i use quick battery widget
6)no idea.. reduce the brightness ??

1- I don't like it and I need to change it.
5- I didn't ask for a Widget but an Application which will change the default battery status icon on Task bar to a detailed percentage term.
1. not sure you can.
5. app called battery indicator.

1- . I can't believe it. It has to possible somehow.
2- Thanks. I downloaded it, it's showing the percentage on the Left Top corner of the Task bar, but the default battery icon is still there!
I downloaded an Application called SMS Composer, which does not have Threaded SMS. Cool. Still will look forward for a better app.

Is it possible to get the battery charge level to always display on the lockscreen? It shows up only when the battery is low.
I'm rooted and using the latest ViperMOD.
Its in my Taskbar.
Mine too, but tiny and lacking in detail. I'd prefer a larger one that shows the exact % or something. I think the stock AOSP lockscreen does this.
I read somewhere there should be some lockscreen personalization options under Settings -> Personalize, but that just closes the settings program for me for some reason. I don't know if this option exists there.
I have moved on to the Vivid as my daily carry, but still have uses for my Aria. I would like to use it as a full time GPS and media device for the car. Is there a way to remove the SIM card and signal strength status bar icons?
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.

I'm not sure why you want to, but you may be able to cook your own (using the UOT Kitchen).
Another option is to hide it from the main screen:
Step 1: Load ADW
Step 2: Open ADW settings
Step 3: Open UI Settings
Step 4: Open Screen Preferences
Step 5: Scroll down to "Advanced settings" and select the option "Hide Status Bar."
This provides the most screen real estate, at least on the home screen.
The other option is to use a custom status bar (from UOT) that is all black or white (or the color of your GPS application). This won't remove it from the screen, but it will at least make it not seen.
One other option is to set the phone into airplane mode. This will remove both the SIM card and signal strength icons, BUT will add an airplane mode icon. This still reduces the number of unwanted icons from 2 to 1 though. ;P
I have found that Sweeter Home has a full screen option. I can then build a fake notification bar (more like a banner) with clock, battery info to provide pertinent info. Come back later for screenshot...
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.
Not going to do what I want. Google map and navigator do not run in full screen, so the status bar shows.

Sounds like you may need to live with the status bar...
Status bar is ok...just don't want those loud blaring irrelevant icons warning me of things I no longer intend to use.

is there a way to do that? only problem with this app.
Sorry for the late reply
....but you can go to system app manager and theres a disable notifications from this app checkbox at least there is one on my Sony Neo V with Super Jellybean 5 custom rom and Fusion 5.4 kernel.
However, if you do this, you will not be able to change the dimming level when you click the icon, only toggle it. I tried to find a permission on Lucky Patcher... no such luck. but i found an appropriate dimness and disable the notification in app manager and just click the app icon on my homescreen to toggle between 40% and full.
There are other apps that serve the same feature individually and bundled with other tweaks but i havent tried them since i've used it for a bit and love how little CPU the app uses. its so little its not logged on my battery screen. and my screen doesn't use half my battery now. System Tuner says it has .03-.04% of cpu use
Good Luck Out There
Sincerely a fellow tweakfreak,
I'm looking for a notification mod that would allow me to maintain the look of the lockscreen when I switch my phone on (Note 4 910f).
I've just updated to Lp 5.01 using this custom ROM and noticed the clock/weather/user info etc display is different when the phone is first switched to when it has been unlocked and I return to the lockscreen.
Please see the attachment.
The image on the left is from when I switch it on, and I see the full clock/weather display.
And the image on the right, shows the lockscreen after it's been unlooked and I return to the lockscreen, but the clock has been compressed, there's no weather, pedometer, user info etc.
I still want to receive email/text type notifications on the lockscreen and I still want status bar notifications for apps (like for example AF+ Firewall in this case).
I've tried to disable AF+ Firewall's notifications, but it disables them all (status bar and notification panel) by using "Settings -> Sounds and Notifications -> Application Notifications"
I just need something that displays notifications underneath the full sized clock.
Thank you for any help.

I don't know if this helps you: I use "lock screen clock mods" to alter the clock, then I prevent the notifications from showing on the lockscreen to then show them in "nils" (notifications on lockscreen) instead. This is what it looks like on both the locked and the unlocked lockscreen:http://imgur.com/UFFcdHg
Edit: I don't know is the nils part is necessary, it just looks best for me.

Thank you for the reply and help
I've just tried "lock screen clock mods", but whatever changes I make to the clock, it doesn't alter anything when I apply it (also rebooting).
I'm not sure what you mean by "nils", Is that altering a value to zero somewhere in the code?
I've also tried "NotifyClean", but that doesn't stop any notifications on the lock screen, but does when the phone is in use.

I disabled the notifications completely in the rom: "Settings -> notifications and sounds -> when screen is locked". They don't show on my (stock Sony) lock screen even when unlocked. With Nils I mean this app and I don't know why the mods don't work for you.

Yes, I know those settings.
I've just tried "Nils". It sort of works.
If I disable a specific apps in "Settings -> notifications and sounds -> when screen is locked", I loose the icon in the status bar, which I want to keep.
If I don't disable it, when on the lock screen, I get a notification at the top of the screen and a repeat in Nils.
I think something needs fixing in Lp, to do want I want it to do.
I think I need to go back to KK or wait for Lp 5.1.1. or M.
So I thought I would start a thread since this seems to be the best app out there to replace our missing notifications LED. This seems to be the best solution at the moment but I'm having some issues.
1. I can't seem to get the colors to change on a per-app basis.
2. The edge lighting around the notch doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone else figured this out or have any other suggestions?
Here is a link to the app for those that haven't tried it yet.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
In settings for the app, give it the required permissions, scroll down to the blue box that says "enable app and its color and time", select the app you want, check enable edge lighting, (I have only checked out One Color) then tap the colored box, and select the color you want, and press Choose.
Been playing with it today. Works well enough that I paid. One remaining concern, is effect on battery so we'll have to see how it behaves tomorrow.
For the ring around the camera, enable "notch support" under widget settings and make sure you have either "around all screen" or "around notch only" selected under lighting above.
To get per app notifications, use the "when a notification comes" option under how to start and it will open up a selection.
Another really cool feature is "display notification icons" that can be used together work edge lighting, or stand alone by itself to create an alternative to aod that stays on when there are notifications pending.

For "when a notification comes", no option to choose for Whatsapp or Gmail?

Try the system apps checkbox. The UI isn't the greatest and it took me a while to get mine sorted out, but seems to work really well one configured.

System apps checkbox in the AOE? Didn't see this option. If on the individual app, I've set all notifications to on
I've been playing with the notch ring only cause is what I am interested but it somehow disable Always Display and dont know how to get it back... I just want the led notch ring notifications
Is it me or does this app have an archaic setup process? It just looks so dated and hard to use.

Found that. Thank you.
Which option do you choose for the following;
*allow this app to run without restriction or
*allow the system to prevent this app from running sometimes
I am curious....it cannot be setup to work as the original led notifications, right? I mean, the light ring disappears after a few seconds...cannot be set to repeat after a certain period of time..?
Yeah, it has a reminder function. Thanks for clarifying to myself )
Curious about battery usage with this app. The features are cool but the setup is just a pain.

You can set the time that it shows up and also there is a repeat option as well.
Hi. Great app!! However... Even tho I've ticket to show the app's icon when a notification is received... I don't. Any ideas? Cheers
I can't get this to work at all on my s10. wanted to it flash different colours (with screen off) for variety of notifications (Skype, WA, Nine (email). Messenger). None work. can't get any light to come on at all....is there something I'm missing!?
Make sure that the built in edge lighting isn't turned on.

Thanks - all good. Seemed that Nine was supported as Samsung email works fine as does Whats App. To me this is a 100% solution to the no LED light so happy days..
Yes I'm very happy with it so far. :good:
Im still tweaking with this - can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the AOD it puts on the phone. I just want the notification ring.
I cant seem to get this to work as well
